Neutrophils

Neutrophils are a type of white blood cell found in the immune system. They are the most abundant type of white blood cell and play an important role in defending the body against infection. Neutrophils use phagocytosis, or the process of engulfing and destroying bacteria and other microorganisms, to protect against invading organisms. Neutrophils are also involved in inflammatory response, whereby they help to remove damaged cells and tissue debris as part of the wound healing process. In addition, neutrophils also produce antibodies to help fight off infection and stimulate other immune cells. Neutrophils are essential for the body's defense mechanism and are key players in maintaining good health.
